Abstract

Eosinophils and neutrophils may be considered close cousins, because of their shared bone-marrow origin, circulation in the blood stream, and egress at tissue sites of inflammation. Under the influence of distinct cytokines, both eosinophils and neutrophils differentiate in the bone marrow and enter the bloodstream. Both cell types interact with the surface of inflamed endothelium, diapedese between endothelial cells, and migrate through the extracellular matrix at tissue sites of inflammation, where they eventually release their stores of inflammatory mediators.
